  Notes	John and Barbara Razak immigrated to the United States in 1886 on a farm near Collyer, Kansas. John became a naturalized citizen in 1891. They lived on the farm until 1926 when they retired and moved into the city of Collyer. [1, 5] (Research):There is a John (30) and Barbara Rozak (26) who arrived on the S.S. Circassia on 24 Sep 1883 from Austria. While their birth and arrival dates are close to what John states on the 1920 census, they are travelling with a Jack (?), age 5, and Maria, age 8 months, which do not align with the known children. Under the leadership of Palacky a Slavic congress assembled at Prague in the Revolution of 1848, but by 1849, although the Czech peasentry had been emancipated, absolute Austrian domination had been forcibly restored. Due to this, the birth and marriage locations of John and Barbara Razak are placed in the Bohemian province of Austria, as opposed to the Czech Republic. It was not until 1918 that full independence was reached and Bohemia became part of the new state of Czechoslovakia.
